PUBLICATION DAY. 🏳️‍⚧️
It’s been another week of struggling to survive for trans folks. I wrote this book to be the other side, to tell the story of trans joy, of all the things they told us trans people couldn’t have. They were wrong about us.

[Emma Roddick SNP @EmmaRoddickSNP]

Trans rights are human rights, and as a woman I do not feel that they are in conflict with my own. I spoke today to defend the rights of others in the LGBTQI Community to simply be who they are.

Such a powerful thread and article, puts words to my experiences that I haven't quite been able to articulate. It's so important to have spaces to explore all these feelings without the threat of being told 'we're not trans enough'

“we’re told that the uncomplicated truth of transition is that when the transformation is complete, we emerge on the other side whole and shimmering.
I am not whole, nor am I shimmering” https://t.co/GTDTTGdduh

Tomorrow 4.4 million households, with 5.1m adults and 3.5m children, will see their incomes fall by £1,000 overnight. For 1 million households that will mean an immediate loss of over 10% of their income as we take the basic rate of benefits to its lowest level since 1990

[Gendered Intelligence @Genderintell]

SUCCESS! Bell v Tavistock has been overturned in the Court of Appeal. This is a huge win for trans people, trans youth and their families in particular

We have a shorter 'quick read' blog piece here on the Court of Appeal's decision here (396 words)

🚨 HUGE NEWS 🚨

Anti-trans groups tried to abuse the Judicial Review again and set new precedence for interpretations of the Equality Act and they LOST the case.
